She blinded him with science: AOC dissects Ted Cruz after he tries to come at her on Twitter

As the Trump administration takes heat for their bungled response to the growing threat of the COVID-19 virus, Fox News and conservatives are working overtime to deflect from the reality that the Trump administration appears unprepared for a pandemic. From big budget cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to disbanding a U.S. pandemic response team to appointing Mike Pence to head a coronavirus team at the White House, this is a growing disaster in the making, something the markets are telling us even if the White House won’t.

As you are speaking as the oracle of science, tell us, what exactly is a Y chromosome?

Mike Pence literally does not believe in science.

It is utterly irresponsible to put him in charge of US coronavirus response as the world sits on the cusp of a pandemic.

This decision could cost people their lives. Pence’s past decisions already have. https://t.co/NhMPOusOWm

Vice President Mike Pence says in leading the White House response to the coronavirus, he will be “bringing together” all the members of the coronavirus task force and will provide President Trump with “the best options for action.” https://t.co/pAUO2PN10Y pic.twitter.com/wlenNW2Wh4

You see, Ted Cruz loves to bash on AOC because she’s a former bartender. He assumes she doesn’t know anything about science. In fact, AOC won numerous awards for her scientific work, specifically her work in microbiology. And she struck back so hard at Ted Cruz that I could hear the slap landing all the way in my living room in Kansas City.

Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology.

Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution.

When will these conservative men learn to stop coming for AOC? I’m starting to think they enjoy the pain.
